have wanted 2,000,000 tons of ship-
teing, and our commercial fleet aggre-
gates only 1,000,000. In the face of
these figures Great Britain and
France understand the impossibility
of the operation.
"Our sympathies being as strong as
ever, we should wish to give France
our financial support, at least, and
thus, perhaps, hasten the end of the

"The impossibility of sending troops

Increases In All Departments.
In the aggregate the Bank shows
gains in every important department;
and while it has shown an increase in
profits over the previous year, it has,
at the same time, established new re-
cords in the percentages of both liquid
assets and cash as well as in total
deposits and total current loans. -
Ill face of such remarkable gains
one naturally looks for some special
reason for the growth of the Royal's
business, and this results in one al-
most immediately hazarding the opin-
ion that the Bank is now beginning
to enjoy the full benefits of the amal-
gamations it has effected during the
past few years. Large savings must
gradually have been made and the
whole organization steadily rounded
out in a way that permitted of the
employment of a very large percent-
age of the Bank's funds even under
less active trade conditions.
Profit and Loss Statement.
The profits for the fiscal year end-
ing November 30th, 1915, were
$1,905,576.57, equal to 16.48% on the.
capital, compared with $1,886,142.67,
or 16.31% he the previous year. As.
the amount at the credit of profit and
loss at,the' end of the previous year
totalled • $614,062.25, this, with the
profits for the current year, brought
the total amount available for distrs-
bution up to $2,519,638.82. Of this
amount . dividends took $1,887,200;
$100,000 was transferred to officers'
pension fund, $250,000 written off
Bank premises account, $105,966 ap-
pliod as war tax on the Bank's note
circulation, leaving the ain:ount to be
carried forward to profit and loss at
the end of the year $676,472.16.
The deposit in the central gold reserve
was increased by a million, bringing.
it up to $3,000,000.
An indication of the Royal's steady
expansion is afforded by the growth in
deposits, which amounted to over
$18,000,000 in' the year, the deposits
not bearing interest having increased
to $37,456,997 from $31,224,129, and
deposits bearing interest to $117,519,
330 from $164,827,078, making a to-
tal of $154,976,327, against $136;051,-
208. As indicated by the increase in
earning power, there were substan-
tial
ubstantial gains in total call and current
loans, the call loans both in and out-
side of Canada having advanced to
$18,951,000, against $14,654,000, and
total current loans in and outside of
Canada $106,551,000, against $99,587,-
000, an increase of close to $7,000,000:
Looked upon as one of the younger
of the bigger Banks, the Royal has
certainly made phenomenal strides;
and its ability to exhibit such a state-
ment under the conditions that pre-
vailed during the past year augur
well for its further growth and ex-
pansion once conditions in the coun-
try become more normal.
